Greifswald

From Rostock we went to nearby Greifswald to see if we found the Finnish Institute of the university. When we arrived there the rain had fortunately mostly finished already.

Bautzen

Bautzen (Budyšin in Sorb) is a town in the mountains of Saxony in the southern part of the Sorb Country. As we were already quite hungry we decided to get some food from there. However, time was again scarce so we couldn't get a traditional Sorb dinner. Instead we bought some food to go from an Asian fast food outlet.

We drove to the countryside and had our dinner by a small village. Due to some language problems we had had quite an amount of food and hence nobody was left hungry.
